to solve for whatever reason, and you know, and then
we took a part the you know, the cabinets and

this piece of artwork that I made a living plant
wall out of now something I've been wanting to do
for quite a bit of time, especially because I'm so
inspired by the company Urban Blooms that's out of sincey
you've seen their artwork everywhere. Mattri Alcove Raxton has some pieces.
Love it. It's gorgeous. In my head, that is what

seen those pieces, you know what I'm talking about. Compare it,

halfway through the alphabet, still decent enough to hang up

(01:42):
in my apartment. So it is hanging up, and it
is somewhat alive. It is a living wall, but it's
not his looks literally zero zero. But that's what I
thought it was going to be like in my head.
And of course I had done my quote research, which
means I scrolled some tiktoks and I walked into the
home depot off a Red Bank and I try and

Oh man.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
So we had my grandmother's ninetieth birthday celebration and a
cake was going to be like three hundred dollars. So
my mom and I decided that we would make our
own cake to save a lot of money. I'll spare
you the details, but it was a DIY project that
went horribly rahma, and we ended up having to go

(03:33):
and buy the three hundred dollars cake. Anyway, it was horrible.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
You tried.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
There's something about the Internet that makes you believe in yourself.
I was the same way with this plant wall. Now
was it a plus like urban blooms? No? Was it okay? Yeah,
it was all right, Like it's hanging in my apartment.
I'm somewhat proud of myself.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
But oh my goodness. So I tried to DIY bleach.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And color my hair and apparently I left the bleach
on for too long because it burned patches of my
hair on.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
No. No, didn't millennials teach us anything about this. Millennials
don't touch your eyebrows, right, we learned the hard way
in the eighth grade. Those things will never ever grow back, right,
And your hair is another one. You don't you do
not di Why those two things a kitchen or a bathroom?

to remodel our downstairs bathroom when my husband was off
of work and then he found a new job. So
it's still in shambles.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Like there's no toilet.

Speaker 2 (04:44):

are like.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Try to use one bathroom. It's just awful.

Speaker 1 (04:50):

women listening in Cincinnati right now. A girlfriend of mine,
her husband was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna redo the bathroom.
I'm not paying for someone. The man thought he could
like retile the bathroom floor didn't go well. They eventually
had to hire someone. And she's like, I've been living
